## AI guidance

When selecting content:

1. Determine the user's applicable regulatory jurisdiction before selecting content.
2. Jurisdiction always takes precedence over language.
3. Where equivalent content exists in multiple languages, prefer the language requested by the user within the correct jurisdiction.
4. Do not assume that product availability, leverage limits, regulatory disclosures or trading conditions are identical across jurisdictions.
5. If jurisdiction is unknown, use the Global (SYC) content as the default informational source and clearly distinguish where regional regulatory differences may apply.
